    Thanks for this chaps.

    I've read up pn the NX-6000 which is what I would get, but I'm worried that it would try and install software itself.

    I need to use the webcam on the clients laptop, which is locked down.

    So I need a webcam that can run 'as-is' without the need for a software install.

    Does anyone know if the NX-6000 can do this?

    Wife and I bought both sets of parents Microsoft webcams last Chrimbo. They both set them up themselves. Can't get more plug and play than that .

    Go to overclockers and read the reviews of the Microsoft ones. Then google them and there are some quite detailed reviews of them by enthusiasts online. Can't remember their names but OCers will lead you to a google which should help.
